[TOOL]FTLEdit: FTL Ship editor [v0.95 11th Jan] Open source!

[Kieve]

I am still having issues where there is a transparent box behind the ship. Also when I cloak, the ship graphic disappears. here is some screenshots.

Choggomac, can you post a download for the files you're using there? IMG\Ship files and the ship.txt / .xml of it? From what I can tell in those screens, it seems like it's more a fault in the graphics than the coding, but it'd be easier to look at them directly than guess.

[Choggomac]

I've only done your ship editor exporting to .ftl, I don't know enough to use the blueprints or .txt files.

This should work, heres to testing out Google Drive

You'll need to manually add

Code: Select all

	<shieldImage>stealth</shieldImage>
	<cloakImage>stealth</cloakImage>

to the bottom of your ship's blueprint (just above the </shipBlueprint> tag). By default, it might be looking for a "stealth_2_shields/cloak".png and not finding it. Also for cleanliness' sake, remove the

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>

line from the top of your append file - I'm not sure if affects anything in the blueprint or not, but I'd avoid unnecessary tags whenever possible.
I don't see the .XML listed for your ship but I'm guessing it's identical to the original stealth_2 since no gibs are being changed or weapon-mounts adjusted.

I have been trying this out all today and I have to say I'm loving the UI and functionality. The only real issue I've run into is if I try to change the ship floor or base into a custom one it will just reset to the original for that ship when I load it into the game. I would really love to be able to use my own drawings/color schemes as my ship but as far as my limited knowledge goes I have yet to find a way to make that work. Is that something that should be possible with this tool?

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


Here, I just got this when trying to load a ship from the files.

Ive gone through 3 sectors now and it never registered that the transparent box was supposed to be the shield graphic...genius!

[Darkfrost]

Hm... keep getting "unhandled exception" errors when trying to export the .XML of a "from scratch" build. Also, doesn't seem to load any of the default weapons or drones to pick from, despite having the paths set correctly in options.

Doh ._. looks like I forgot to parse the blueprints.xml when you click that button! i'll fix that asap

Will take a look at the other issues too!

[Doom Lich]

Are you going to make a way to modify starting crew?

Yeah, that's on the list of things to do next

Can you make sure you extracted it properly? img/GUI/roomfuncs/s_pilot_overlay.png seems to be missing from the folder you installed the editor

[StealthCl0wn]

Quick question, uh, when I'm trying to add weapons to my ship, nothing appears in the dropdown menu.

What do?
